So I was reading this article about a biomass energy facility in Connecticut that recently installed a green roof. Great idea, it will reduce their winter energy bill and carbon footprint by at least 35%. But then I got to thinking, what if you used green roofs to grow plants like switchgrass for biofuel? Of course, it's not like there's a limit of products to burn for energy...but maybe there's a crop which would yield even more energy? Just spit ballin'...
Here's an early trend watch. This writer believes there's now a tendency to frame green infrastructure projects as "weather proofing", not "sustainability" endeavors. Agree, disagree?
Lastly, I couldn't let tomorrow go by without posting this hit by The Temptations. Enjoy!
